It's okay. I'm happy to discuss this topic.

I partly agree with people being reluctant, but at the same time, I don't want to force the transition. I have been making it as easy as possible to switch to the kobopatch, and have made quite a few tools to ease the process. At first, I just implemented the old format in kobopatch, and added the zlib instructions. Then, I started releasing patch zips, but still in the old format, but with kobopatch. Finally, in 4.9.11311, I changed the default format to the new one.

Do you (or anyone else) want me to make a tool to translate them to .patch format automatically?
